Kami & Jim Wedding

I have said it before, but this season’s weather is NUTS!  We have had  lots of reschedules and it has made for some pretty crazy weekend shoots.  BUT, you can’t reschedule a wedding.  Kami and Jim thought that they would have to get married in Kami’s parents house because it was a DOWNPOUR all day.  The kids tried to help by doing a “stop this rain” dance.  I guess it worked!  At 2:30 PM the clouds parted and let the sunshine in.  We had one little minor shower, but other than that, this wedding had absolutely gorgeous lighting!  Though it was cold, we had an awesome time on the beach and these two love birds were a blast to work with.  The best part was that Kami had no problem getting the dress wet!  She had such a great attitude and it made it a great experience for everyone.  Hope you enjoy the images, here are just a few of my favorites!


Rainy Day Wedding- Laguna Niguel

Wow, the weather over the last two months has been anything but typical!  You would think October would be the perfect month for an outdoor wedding in California, unless the year is 2010!  Aimee & Tom informed me that come rain or shine, they were still having their ceremony outside.  Anna and I geared up with umbrellas for over our cameras, but fortunately the rain stopped before the sunset ceremony.  While we unfortunately did not get a beautiful sunset, the overcast weather made the wedding look romantic and dreamy!  I LOVED the rolling hills and fields in the background.  Aimee’s mom did an unbelievable job making her yard look magical.  Overall it was a lovely evening.  Thank you so much for including us!

Beautiful Baby Girl

Oh how we love Bella!  She is just gorgeous and always quick to smile.  At this session, she started off a little shy, which is unlike her, but as the shoot progressed, the big smiles came out.  This was Bella’s first birthday shoot and we had a great time playing with her one on one (normally she is with her four siblings).    Her parents have some really great genes, ’cause she is just soooo yummy!

Inspirational Shot!

Okay, so here is a suggestion for everyone out there…… if you see an image you love in a magazine, or other publication, cut it out and show it to me.  That is exactly what happened with my great friend, Sriti.  She had this image that she found and LOVED, probably because that girl LOVES shoes, and she showed it to me.  A week later, we set up an inspired shoot.   This was such a fun shoot for me because I got to be really creative.  I hope you enjoy, and Sriti….. I LOVE the shoes!

Tennell Kids!

Back to the basics on this fun shoot!  These Daddy’s Day images are some of my favorites.  I always love when you bring something personal and these are actually Daddy’s shirts and ties.  Earlier in the year, we took some beautiful portraits of their Mommy and she is planning to give a mixture of the portraits to her husband for Father’s Day.  I am sure he will be thrilled!  Enjoy!
